shipit-npm

A set of tasks for Shipit used for npm specific tasks on deploy.

Inspired by the capistrano/composer extension.

Features:

• Triggered on the updated or fetched event from shipit-deploy
• Has a direct pass though task to npm cli
• Works via shipit-cli and grunt-shipit

Install

npm install shipit-npm

Usage

Just simply run: (This triggers the npm task on the deploy updated or fetched event. No additional config necessary.)

shipit staging deploy

Or you can run the tasks separatly :

shipit staging npm:init npm:install
shipit staging npm:run --cmd "update"

Options shipit.config.npm

npm.remote

Type: Boolean Default: true

A Boolean to determine whether to run the task in local workspace or on the remote.

npm.installArgs

Type: Array or String Default: []

An array or string specifying npm args passed to the npm install cmd.

npm.installFlags

Type: Array or String Default: []

An array or string specifying npm flags passed to the npm install cmd.

npm.preinstall

Type: Boolean Default: false

A Boolean to determine whether to emit a pre install event (npm_preinstall). Note: if you use this feature you will have to emit npm_pre_install_complete once your preinstall task is completed eg:

shipit.on('npm_preinstall', function() {
  console.log('MY PRE INSTALL TASK')
  # do somthing cool
  shipit.emit('npm_pre_install_complete')
})

Example shipitfile.js options usage

module.exports = function (shipit) {
  require('shipit-deploy')(shipit);
  require('shipit-npm')(shipit);

  shipit.initConfig({
    default: {
      npm: {
        remote: false,
        installArgs: ['gulp']
        installFlags: ['-g'];
      }
    }
  });
};
